We close the @OzanneFoundn today, after 8 years of working to tackle prejudice & discrimination of LGBT+ people by religious organisations. As I say in our press release: 'It is perhaps no coincidence that organised religion continues to face significant decline.. 1/2

Oh, just get on with it & go!! GAFCON's been threatening to leave for years but has never had the courage to do so. It's time they stopped blackmailing us & left, taking their homophobic hate with them - we can then get on with preaching a Gospel of Love https://t.co/KqYg0W59uF

So grateful to @AnnelieseDodds, my MP for many years, for her constant support of #LGBT & #Faith communities It's been a privilege to work with her, especially on the #conversionpractice ban, which I hope will be published soon (evidently @10DowningStreet still committed to it)!

Last night in the @UKHouseofLords surrounded by many of my friends with whom I've worked so closely over the years, I announced I would very soon be stepping down from all my work in the #religion/#LGBT space. It's time for a new chapter - it's time to pass the baton on...

I love the fact that the late #PopeFrancis asked to be buried in Santa Maria Maggiore - just across the road from the #Argentinian Embassy, the nearest place he had to home! Not sure many have picked up on that yet...! It's also a beautiful, accessible and yet simple Church
